Best Honeymoon Destinations in Nigeria

Planning a wedding and getting married in Nigeria is usually a monumental financial expense. Lavish parties, multiple ceremonies and other accompanying background arrangements take their toll and almost always defy the original budget.

Then there is the honeymoon part. More and more people are looking to skip the honeymoon phase altogether for cost reasons. They either just check into a hotel for a weekend and then it's over or they summarily move in together right after the wedding.

With proper planning though, you could still have a memorable honeymoon on a low budget. Below are some of the more famous honeymoon destinations that you could look into for a memorable honeymoon experience for you and your spouse:

The Obudu Mountain Resort
